"Great Game! Great Graphics!"

The graphics in this game is just terrific!!! The game itself is awesome. It was better than the movie, the music fits each level correctly. Only negative point is that the game is way too easy… I finished the game within 3–4 days playing 2 hours each day. But, it is definitely excellent. I will rate it (4/5)

"Ok shooter"
3 stars"

Just finished this game last week. With critics claim that this game is built on the graphics engine used for call of duty 4, I was really looking forward what it can deliver. Unfortunately I was very much disappointed. The graphics is no where near call of duty 4. Apart from the flames and the odd cutscenes, it looked very much like a PS2 game. The game itself was rather straightforward. Completed in about 3 nights. The only thing that drove me to play more were the trophies that is on offer.

"Who would have thought. a bond game that DOESN'T SUCK"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is wicked and totally true to the first two movies which i like. The game is made from the same engine that made Modern Warfare, so naturally the gameplay was excellent. I highly recommend this game to people who like shooters and enjoyed the Call of Duty games.

"Pretty Average, but still fun."
3 stars"

Being a huge Bond fan myself, I got really excited to hear that there was going to be another James Bond game. After the success of Everything or Nothing and From Russia With Love I knew that this game would be just as good.

However, I was wrong. This game has been rushed in order for it to come out in time with the Quantum Of Solace movie. The story mode is very short (I completed it in three days) and the gameplay is very repetative.

I was very dissapointed with how this game turned out. But seeming I am a huge Bond fan, I still find this game quite fun to play. Even if it's the same levels again and again.

"What a Blast"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

I have just finished playing this, and I had a blast. Just giving it a rest before I go back to it and attempt to play it in 007 mode.......oh to be a secret agent.

Quantum of Solace – 8/10

This has to be the best James Bond game ever released. Although a third person shooter mixed with first person as your able to use cover like MGS or Uncharted, this game is spectacular fun. Levels are linear like Resistance so you won't get lost and feature in a whole host of countries such as – Siena, Miami, Montenegro, Venice and even Antananarivo.

Weaponry is mixed with semi-automatic shotguns, pistols, rifles, sniper rifles and all of these have “gold versions” (guns are covered in gold). All handle very well with solid reload times, no recoil and ammo is in abundance. Cover system works very well and with crouching, adds great depth to gameplay as you can choose to run-and-gun or act out as true James Bond style!

Online is still very active with many options for game modes – standard Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Bond Evasion and countless others. Plenty of trophies to be gained with some lengthy online ones adding to replay value.

Fans of FPS games, stealth games like Metal Gear Solid series will enjoy this. Any new comer who hasn't tried any James Bond game should try it out. The replay value is better than some of the latest games coming out.
